To do up shirts take two table,
spoonfuls of starch and one teaspoon
even full of powdered borax and dis
solve in one and one-half cups of cold
water. The shirts must not be pre-
viously starched, and they must be per-
fectly dry. Dip the cuffs, collars,
bosoms and neck-bands in the starch,
then roll up tight in dry cloth and let
them lie two hours. Then rub off and
iron. They will be like pasteboard and
have a nice gloss.-Good Housekeeping
Among the first crops which can be
put out on the opening of spring are
early peas. SoWn four inches deep, as
they should be, a pretty sharp freeze
after planting will do them no harm.
Preparing the ground in the fall will
facilitate the work, as before the ground
is dry enough to pillow well in the
spring the peas may be sprouted or up
even. The soil should be well enriched,
and left in ridges, in which condition
it will dry quicker.-CIeUela1ad Leader.

is baked, don't try to take it from the
tin while hot; set it away until perfect
ly cold, then return it to the fire long
enough to warm the tin through, then
turn it upside down on your hand, and
tap the edge of the tin on the table, and
it will slip from the tin all right, and
you can take off the paper without any
injury to the cake.-EGclapge
We know of no good reason why
every garden should not have bed of
asparagus, and a large one, too. Once
planted in good garden soil, and the
crop is certain for many years to come.
The most suitable soil is deep, light
loan, and it should be underdrained.
Whatever labor and outlay is put into
its preparation to have it deeply
worked and MANFRED will be returned
again to the doer, and with high rate
of interest. The more manure the
greater the product; at the rate of fifty
two horse loads to the acre would be
the right thing Nea0 Yorker.
